The most recent ASAS-SN Sky Patrol observations
(Shappee et al. 2014ApJ...788...48S and Kochanek
et al. 2017PASP..129j4502K) indicate that this
transient (cf. vsnet-alert 22109) was still bright
(16 mag?) on 2018 April 27.00 UT (observations
contaminated by a nearby 13.1 mag star):

Time-resolved photometry is strongly recommended.

Clear skies,
Patrick
